Ayo Makun popularly known as AY must have really felt the evil hands of pirates on his movie 30 days in Atlanta.
Recall that he recently wrote an open letter to Inspector General of Police, Suleiman Abba urging him to use the machinery at his disposal to identify and arrest the culprits.
However, AY is also taking precautions by begging his fans and urging them to contact him directly to get any information they need about his movie.

Ayo Makun in an interview he granted a soft sell magazine said "Piracy has eaten into Nollywood and the entertainment industry as a whole. It is evil. A crime and nobody is doing anything about it. People who actually put in their time, resources, energy, creativity into a production are denied the rewards of their efforts by these Alaba elements.
"It is the time to rise and cry out. To our politicians and those in government, it is not about vote for me. Do something about piracy in the entertainment industry and you’ll have our votes as entertainers. I don’t blame Nigerians because they always buy things on the streets and in traffic, but the government should do something by not allowing these Alaba elements to get away with the evil” AY added.
